High On Life Podcast #09 feat. Alissa Hansen

#HighOnLife #HoLPodcast #HoLInspired
This week we have Alissa Hansen joining us on the podcast. Not only is she a great friend of everyone at High On Life, but she was the life partner of Ryker Gamble for 5 years prior to his passing. Ryker is one of the founding members of High On Life.
It was such an honour to have her share her thoughts and feelings on many aspects of her life; like what it was like to date a social media star, and what her life was like after the accident.
We shared many great laughs and many deep moments in our conversation and we really applaud her courage and strength as she boldly takes on this new chapter in her life.
We love you so much, Alissa!
